A Redoing of The Wiz

I bought this dvd because I missed this redo of "The Wiz" tv broadcast.
I had seen the old movie version with Diana Ross & Michael Jackson.
The old movie does show its age, but is still a very entertaining fantasy for me to watch. The staging of a televised "Live" production sounds like a very impressive feat. I have to give credit to the director and the technical staff for doing a great job in putting this tv show together. But the final product was a bit of a disappointing let down for me. I think I like the old movie better than this modern tv version.

Unfortunately I didn't get to catch the entire play when it aired live but from what I did see it was worth the purchase! Two thumbs up on capturing the essence of the original "The Wiz" and putting a youthful twist on it. FYI... this is NOT "The Wizard of Oz" (great movie also) nor is it meant to be

I purchased this DVD at an excellent price and I was able to pick it up from a store within a day. I saw the musical on television a few months ago and I was surprised to see that Best Buy had it in their stock shortly after it was aired. Best Buy always has a great selection of movies.

After watching the live broadcast, I had to have the dvd. It did not disappoint. I listen to it everyday during my morning commute. I love the updated versions of the original musical and Shanice Williams is incredible. However, no one can compare to the incomparable Stephanie Mills.

If you love the wizard of oz than you'll love the wiz. Dorothy is all grown up and she's on another adventure in oz with the scarecrow , tin man and the lion. Enjoy music and lyrics in the new wiz movie. A musical for all ages and kids will enjoy it for years to come.

I missed this musical when it was originally on television. I'm so glad that they put it on dvd. This is a well put together stage musical that came alive on dvd. I'm happy that I got a chance to watch it, plus as many times as I'd like to. Love it!

This is a classic movie. I already knew that it would be great and it did not come to a shock that it was. They could have not picked a better actor and the music was outstanding if you were deciding on this movie you need to get it it's great
